title: [Computer-assisted management of depots for blood products in health establishments].
abstract: To manage the filing of blood components at the hospital of the city of Bayeux, the laboratory uses Cursus, a dedicated software for haemovigilance. Benefits for using this software at different steps of the blood bank management are: simplification, security and harmonization of practices during receipt and issurance of blood components, securing recordings with the use of bar codes for patient identification and blood components listing, implementation of a computerized tracking system for transfusion, traceability, limitation of written documents and availability of statistics on the management of the depot.
